Why I Drink Lemon Water On An Empty Stomach Every Morning

If you follow me on the gram, you might have seen my morning stories where I share that I drink 32 ounces of room temperature lemon water on an empty stomach every morning. This habit of mine has become so routine for the past five or so years that I refuse to eat or drink anything before I’ve had my lemon water, no matter where I am in the world.

Why am I such a hardcore believer? Well, I’ve seen and (more than anything) felt the benefits. Here are 10 reasons to help you come over to the dark side, which is not dark at all, but more light, healthy and refreshing.
